Anyone use bareMinerals?

BM is my go-to foundation. It works so well for me. I have oily skin and it tends to give me decent coverage and stay put. I like a lot of their products, with the exception of their face primer.

I've used it for a little more than a year now. I really like the coverage I get, and the few times I've run out and gone back to a liquid, it feels so goopy on my skin compared to the powder foundation. (Caveat: I had always used drug-store foundation prior to BM, I haven't tried high-end liquid foundations.)

My skin veers between oily and super dry. Stripping my skin makes it worse, so I moisturize really heavily (oil cleansing, often use a moisturizer + separate sunscreen) because otherwise I get flaky patches. I would rather deal with the oil than the patches, and so using a powder foundation helps keep the shiny in check somewhat.

I've been pleasantly surprised at how little I can use and get good coverage. I also use a primer and bb cream underneath it most days to stretch it a little further. I also like the BM blushes.

BM is my favorite loose powder. I used it a lot before I got into make up big time. Now I use it occasionally.

You need to find a shipping mule. I forward things to my friend in Canada all the time. Usually because of availability issues. But you don't know me. I'm not a good candidate for that. Haha

I use their Bare Skin liquid foundation. I love it. It's lightweight yet gives good coverage. I also like their eye shadows.

I want to try this at some point.  I used Bare Minerals, the powder stuff, briefly in my late 20's and even then I felt like it settled into every line and pore.  Even though I tend to have oily skin.

Do you prefer the liquid or the powders? Matte? Regular?

Of the foundations, I have tried the original loose, the ready, and the complexion rescue. I truly love them all. I have used the loose for over half a decade. I probably won't rebuy it once my current container runs out because I adore the ready formula now. Just depends what you are looking for. I love almost eveything they make.
